Hatred. Love. Far Cry

How, if not in the first blog, write about the latest and most vivid impressions. Honestly, I met computer games a long time ago back in 1999, when my modest person was 6 years old and my father dragged the old “second stump”, but even then I watched the assembly process with interest and did not know what to do with it. And then, I saw games. No, not so. Games. As I remember now, those three apostles that have revealed to me amazing game world: Civilization, Descent (flyer-player, who does not know) and doom II. And with the latter, my love for the shooters began.

So…

Far Cry series, so it turned out, for some reason I always bypassed. In my youth, I was scared by the “open” world, but later I did not like the mechanics of the towers with the advances. But the linearity liked much more: I went, shot and the level ended. Well, I didn’t want to waste time on a long and stretched gameplay. Even RPG, I managed to go through more or less linearly not being distracted by all kinds of sid-quests (the exception can probably be called the TES series, especially the quests of the Dark Brotherhood). And yet this layout was destined to change.

Taking the counting of all the above, it is obvious that I was not going to spend my own bloods on a series like Far Cry (I admit that at the time of writing the text I never played the first or the second). But all sorts of lore things, I was always interested in studying, and even more so could not pass me by such a charismatic villain Vaas Chernogorsky (well, not Monte *** RO in our loyal world to call him XD). And here is in Game Pass, and the main device for games is now Xbox, I see Far Cry 3. Curiosity prevailed and I began my first attempt to try such a legendary series. Acquaintance did not ask, I hardly understood the pumping system, I confess, I was annoyed by the need to run and farm animal skins and various herbs. I had enough hours for 5 monotonous gameplay.

The second coming happened after buying a discount game https://sistersitescasino.co.uk/casinos/betway-casino/ (yes, I would contradict myself, but at that time it seemed to me that this time everything would be different). But it wasn’t there! It’s not that the third “everse” did not fly to me again, I came across reviews of 5 and 6 parts and this was a turning point. Somewhere with the spinal cord I understood that Grind/Farm and other things stretching the perception of the time were waiting for me again, but curiosity finally won.

In g ** at the chronology! It’s time to plunge into the distant world of Far Cry. I brewed a mug of dumplings and a saucepan of tea and went to carry sectarians (and later the toxic XD dictatorship).

Love from the first outpost

New setting, new mechanics and let not very long, but still an interesting main storyline with silent Salaye-for me it was all in a novelty (a long-forgotten feeling of something new). I could not even imagine that the series would tighten me so much that I would quit watching very strange things in the middle of the season in the evenings.

I will not retell to you either mechanics or the features of the game (for me it was done by the authors of SG). I delayed the moment with the advances as best I could, but the game said in direct text: “Either you go to the vvvanpost or horseradish, and not another spoon of the main storyline”. And here it penetrated me! From the very first outpost, I built a new capture strategy (well, I should somehow dilute unobtrusive monotony). Later, I added a new element to a monotonous format – I set myself a condition: to capture the avant -navpost, for example, using a shovel. =) Five evenings later, having met the beginning of the nuclear era, I understood. I. Want. MORE!

Under the bottle of CERVEZA

The decision to buy the 6th part came instantly. I admit, I wanted to see Esposito more as an antagonist (moment of disappointment to the word). Many mechanics are already familiar, something has changed slightly, of course there wasn’t enough branches of the development of the character, but you also quickly get used to it.

And if to the 5th part, I only had claims to the need to farm the cache on a new trunk and body kit, then to the 6th part, although I have not finished it until now, the claims began to grow: and there is no sensible pumping, the trunks do not even decide anything, so there are not even a gambling to look for them, and some things make you such an imba that you can simply go to the Castillo tower in full the main plot. But no, letting the twisted, but still you can’t ignore the rails. Despite the growing anger, I decided that I would enjoy the game and spit on all game conventions. Remember the WIF series about Rage 2-I decided to arrange such madness in the 6th Faryche. And it turned out, the game began to play for me with new colors: run into advanpost, give out gifts from El Caballero, go in a gulp from a pumped supramo and set up on the survivors of Oluso, who was eagerly pulled out of the poor unfortunate Soldados. And the more crazy the config in the arsenal, the more desirable the next outpost, a checkpoint, or just a pack of enemy “noncopties” seemed desirable.

Epilogue?

Why am I all that? Essays – this cannot be called, a review too. Review? Well, maybe to some extent. Especially the first blog entry. Of course I want to say that you don’t try to know yet, even if on the third attempt. And although we ignore many titles by just building the opinion that they say “it’s boring, monotonous”. I want to say that the perception of gameplay will depend exclusively on you. Yes, the developers came up with mechanics, thought out gameplay, crammed numerous points of interest, but they give us tools for their own funny pastime (not everywhere, I agree, but there are many where you can get out of the programmed rails). The default scheme “came in – shot – captured”, you can safely transform into “burst – blew up – a feather under the rib – shovel in w …”. Well, you understand! Play games, communicate with games and do not be afraid to go beyond. I said everything!

P. S. It turned out a little crumpled, especially in the final, but I wanted to test the local blog and at the same time share with you emotions from which I have been running for many years. Who knows, can blow off dust from his camera, combine the installation and stir up the story of the Far Cry series?
